    Fredo's X3 project

    This is my wife's 2011 F25 X3. It was bought back in Sep 2016 with 61,400 miles. At that time we had decided to sell her 2008 Saab. One Saturday afternoon we were close to the BMW dealer and she said: "let's stop by, I want to drive the X1." We didn't like it that much and ended buying the X3 on the same day.

    Here's a recent pic taken today Feb 02, 2020. This thread is for documentation purposes, no mods are planned.

    I tried my new paint thickness gauge ($65 in Amazon, link below) on the X3. To my surprise, I found out the hood has been repainted. The Carfax report says front damage, but I assumed it was the bumper. Apparently, 4-8 mils is factory paint. The hood reads 12-13 mils.

    Maybe you need more data. Go out there and get more x3 measures?
